Electromagnetic waves, which include light, consist of vibrations of electric and magnetic fields, and they all travel at the speed of light.

a.) fm radio. find the wavelength of an fm radio station signal broadcasting at a frequency of 102.5 mhz .
b.) x rays. x rays have a wavelength of about 0.200 nm . what is their frequency?
c.) the big bang. microwaves with a wavelength of 1.20 mm , left over from soon after the big bang, have been detected. what is their frequency?
d.) sunburn. sunburn (and skin cancer) are caused by ultraviolet light waves having a frequency of around 1.04×1016 hz . what is their wavelength?
e.) seti. it has been suggested that extraterrestrial civilizations (if they exist) might try to communicate by using electromagnetic waves having the same frequency as that given off by the spin flip of the electron in hydrogen, which is 1.42 ghz . to what wavelength should we tune our telescopes in order to search for such signals?
f.) microwave ovens. microwave ovens cook food with electromagnetic waves of frequency around 2.45 ghz . what wavelength do these waves have?

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
